William Henry Pierce - b. 12/8/1843 Sussex County,NJ - d. 3/8/1893 Roxbury Twp,NJ On his death certificate it says he died from pneumonia. It lists his parents as Samuel and Sarah Pierce. It does not give his mother's maiden name. I haven't found anything more on his parents or siblings yet. His widow, Phebe collected his Civil War pension in 1893. The date isn't clear but it looks like Mar 20 or 29, 1893. I had found this tidbit of info but haven't been able to connect it to anything. I was wondering if there may have been a name change. 1860 Census Johnsonburg, Warren Co., NJ William H Pierce 16 farm laborer Living with John Pierson 71 Farmer Mary Pierson wife 66 John W 27 Farmer Mary A 32 housekeeper The John Pierson family was living in Frelinghuysen, Warren, NJ in 1850.
